I'm not the type to go camping. But if I did, I know enough not to leave my fire burning all night, leave food uncovered (preferably in a container that can seal so as not to attract bears, wolves, coyotes, etc) and I certainly know not to leave trash behind when I am done.
These are rules you should follow no matter what you do. Picnic or camping, doesn't matter. Stop leaving your trash and shit all over the place, you uncivilized scumbags!
I am powerless to stop Russia. I am powerless to stop the Middle Eastern conflicts. I am powerless to stop anti-semites, homophobes, and bigots.
I am, however, not powerless to vote for people who will exert the power needed to help end these horrors.
My power is my vote. I intend to exhort that power at every election, no matter how small, because elections, even the smallest of them, have consequences.
It really is tiresome that we seem to be stuck with this two party system. Such a system eventually leads to a lot of extremism on both ends and incalcitrant attitudes that don’t allow for any meaningful debate or action.
Parliamentary system may sometimes crumble, but they are designed to allow the government to be rebuilt. This mess we have doesn’t.
Parents, you need to get over your embarrassment about sex. You can't hide from it. It is part of why we exist, to procreate, so it would be best to have open and honest discussions with your kids about it instead of convincing them it is some kind of magic thing that can lead them into hell.
To not do this is to fail in your responsibilities.
This guy is a gay porn star. He is also a well spoken, intelligent, compassionate person who makes a lot of very good points about organized religion, sexuality, and the way religion influences the human race for the negative.
He's an impressive person.
I’m a little gay, a little pagan, a little Puerto Rican, a little multi-lingual, and all human! Verified by my Mom.
